After thinking it over a bit, I think that you are going to be more flexible in delivering your wishes if you have a small video camera on your computer that you can use any time to change/ edit your last wishes. They are extremely cheap now ($20-50) and are readily available at any computer/electronics store. They record in mpeg format. Also, because, CDs and video tapes may deteriorate over the years (probably 10-50 years) I'd probably download it to a web server where you can maintain it virtually for free (e.g. if you have your own personal or business web site, add a page to it e.g. www.myname.com/mylastwishes and keep it there while your site is up and beyond). There are free web site that you can virtually do no maintenance and only display banner ads and it'll be there for a long time. Your mpeg format is probably going to be the same format that will be used for video in decades and if not, there will be conversions from older version available. You'll be able to play it in Windows Media Player or RealPlayer or any other comparable player using the same technology. If you look at the state of mp3 technology today, you can play mpeg files from 3-5 years ago easily, the quality will not be good, but it does it.
